Convert IDW to STL
| File Extension | IDW |
| Full Name | AutoDesk Inventor Drawing Format |
File with .IDW extension contains complete project of mechanical device, or its simulation, in development phase. 2D or 3D project drawing is created with Autodesk Inventor software. IPW files may contain parts (.IPT files), assemblies (.IAM files) or presentation materials (.IPN files). Projects can be exported to different platforms in form of .
| File Extension | STL |
| Full Name | Stereolithography Format |
The .STL extension refers to files of the type, Stereolithography files. It is a native file format for CAD software that are based on stereolithography. There are many community developed and supported packages that work with the STL file and language for CAD.The STL file is mostly used for rapid prototyping and contains usually 3D modeling data.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "IDW") to another (referred to as "STL"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, IDW file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format IDW to format STL becomes essential.
So, how can we perform IDW to STL file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format IDW and transforming it into format STL. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of IDW to STL converters.

How to convert the IDW file to STL?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of IDW to STL. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the IDW file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file IDW, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the IDW file to the application
- Select the output format of the STL file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file STL on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted STL file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
